One important reason that Laura and Howieś excursion was not a learning experience is that Howie and Laura get caught by the cleaning lady when trying to stay at the hotel for free. They deserved to get in trouble for this is because you shouldn't try to get into a hotel for free. According to the author “Where’s your boyfriend?

This is a problem because if they wanted to get into schools or get a job the people hiring will see their permanent record and won’t accept them
